Remedee is collaborating with Fernando Pullum Performing Arts High School, an Inner City Education Foundation school, to create a film and media program for under-served teens. This class will teach the basics of production, post-production and distribution through hands-on projects. Students will create artist interviews, short-form online media, and a "thesis" film about an issue relevant to their own life.

Remedee's second year of youth programming in New Orleans is underway with the "Change We Can Create" Summer Camp at Carver High School. It's sponsored in part by New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) and led by 2-Cent, a group of local, young media-makers who themselves use digital film as a tool for change.
